How it feels

A late-90s inspired retro 3D horror where you feed a biomass core to advance, creating a tense and atmospheric experience.

What players say

Players call it a very short bug-collecting game with a repetitive feed-the-parasite loop and almost no story, more like a demo than a full release. The PS1-style graphics get mixed reactions, and the stamina system is widely seen as unnecessary.
